Yes, its true the US is not a direct democracy, technically it is a type of representative republic. Despite this people are more apt to flourish as human beings under our current system no matter how you 'define' it. Communism as a theory. This is important to distinguish because Communism has never been implimented as it was theorizied (sp?). We have had Stalinism, lenninism and what not but not communism. Now Communism as said theory has its ups (everyone was taken care of and everyone was equal, in theory), but people suffer incredibly because they have no personal choice. They are given jobs, housing, and a life more or less. We, the United States, as a country offer the most advantages for personal growth, human development, and general welfare, out of all of the current governments. Call us a welfare state, a non democracy, a representative republic, or even a hypocracy, but don't ever tell me that this isn't a great country.
That may be a little off topic but I was in a groove so I went with it. Agree or not that is my opinion.
